Handler
.short
DOS-handler like /dev/zero in Unix
.description
An AmigaDOS handler much like the /dev/zero device in Unix.
It provides streams of 0-bytes, which can be unlimited or set to an
arbitrary limit. There are two ways to use the handler:
zero: unlimited stream of 0-bytes
zero:<number> a stream of <number> 0-bytes
Examples:
copy zero: to somefile will quickly fill your harddisk
copy zero:2000 to somefile generates a file of 2000 0-bytes
copy zero:0 to somefile generates a file of size 0
copy zero:foo to somefile results in an error
